Repeal It.
Special to the vIRGINIAN.l
RICHMOND, VA, March 10th

If we should be permitted to make a
suggestion to the Legislature which con
vened in extra session in Richmond yes
terday, we would ask them, as a matter Of
enlightened State policy, to repeal at once
the infamous Mccormick Anderson cleo
toral law. 1t is Disgrace to the State
an insult to the people, alda contrayention
of the most sacred principle of Republican
government. There is not q fair-minded
man in the Commonwealth who Will I'M
dertake to defend it. 1t is confession of
party weakness. as well as of a corrupt
purpose to achieve party success, whether
it can be effected by an honest ballot or
not. Let the equal rights of the citizen be
recognized and respected, and it will &C
complish infinitely more of enduring rep
ntation than all the insdioua devices to
defeat the popular will that could be
enacted. Let this act of fairness and JUS
tice be done to the people, and thus assure
a confidence in public honesty that is DUO
to the constituent body. The Democratic
member who will show the courage to
move repeal of this Infamous piece of
legislation, will deserve the thanks of all
the people Of the State, and win for him
SELF name that will live long after the
conspirators who conceived the law shall
have passed into oblivion,
The Philadelphia Times of the 18th says
of the spring trade that everything points
to boom in business. Merchants have
felt the commercial pulse generally and
say that the indications are that trade in
all branches of business will be brisk. The
sales of MARCH which are the usual fore
runners Of the spring, show that there
has been so far an increase in the demand,
which has stimulated the source of sup
ply. There are many reasons for this
healthy state OF affairs. The absence of
strikes in the mills. the fact that money is
easy and that factories are working oyer
time 10 meet their orders will help to ac-
count for the present and promised pros
perity, The views of leading merchants
in every avenue of trade given show
cheerful and hopeful expectancy Of
what the business is to be during the next
three or four months.

llded and deceived by sensational alarms
and lnsdious devices to promote Demo
cratic success" and that hereafter they
will vote their convictions, instead of alb
normal prejudices, the policy is to be
adopted of making up this loss by winning
over colored votes. This is certainly m UGH
more to be commended than the policy
heretofore adopted. to hold the white
vote. And had kindly spirit been shown
in the past, and friendly methods en-
ployed, we have no doubt there would now
be no inconsiderable colored Democratic
vote. 1t would be Just as natural for in
telligent colored men to arrange them
selves in opposite organizations, were the
same consideration fer their political
rights shown by one party as by the 9th

This has not been the case in the past, nor
was it the desire of the Democratic
leaders that it should be so long as the

Needs of Civilized Dogs.

There is n certain responsibility about
keeping pets that few people think of.
An animal whom we enslave and force
into an unnatural life for our own pleas
ure, has u right to demand of us as much
variety and happiness as we can give
him. Nothing short of absolute abuse
can be more cruel than to confine the
active, open air loving dog in a drawing
room with positively nothing to occupy
himself with but eating and sleeping.
There are two things which he should
always have, at whatever inconvenience
to his mistress-a daily run out of doors
mot an airing in a carriage), and always
free access to windows looking upon the
street. The civilized dog takes quite as
much interest as his mistress, when she
happens to be shut up in the house, in
watching the drama of life as it unfolds
itself in the streets.
at is not fashionable to look out of
windows" do l hear? Very true; but
the best trained dogs have a provoking
way of stopping just short of elegant hu.
man A very attractive sight
to me a few days ago was a pair of enor-
nous young st. Bernard dogs sitting one
in each front window of an uptown resi-
dence, looking with the most absorbing
interest upon the doings in the street.
They were a much more charming win,
dow nam than anything their mis-,
tress could have placed behind the
glass.-Harper's Bazaar.
